How do I contact the shelter about Naraku?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Naraku on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Naraku if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Naraku already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Naraku isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Naraku and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Naraku

Shiba Inu · Male · Senior · 11 years

Country of origin: Hungary Unfortunately, once again a senior dog who sadly ended up in the animal shelter in his old age. His name is Naraku and he has been at Menhely Kecskemét since March 14, 2026. He was found alone and abandoned near the shelter. He dug a hole and sought shelter in it. Fortunately, he was found. Naturally, a false alarm during the microchip check and the handsome one was not reported missing. We know nothing about his past, whether he was abandoned or ran away from home, but we hope that in the future he will only be on the sunny side of life and can spend his remaining years with dignity. As soon as possible, he would like to pack his bag and leave the shelter behind. The Menhely is probably better than his previous life, but it should not and must not be the end for Naraku, but much better. Because actually, he should be safe and secure in the circle of his family, but that has never been the case so far... Naraku is a quiet, kind and nice dog, but also cautious, somewhat shy and not pushy. Petting and attention are becoming more and more pleasant for him, which was probably lacking before. He never wants to miss this again. He does not need much action, but people who are there for him, dote on him, take him as he is and let him feel that he is loved and respected, maybe for the first time in his life. He likes human affection and has a lot of catching up to do. With the older four-legged dog bosses, it is usually the case that the demands on physical activities are not so high anymore, but the loving attention is enjoyed all the more, which also applies to Naraku. He gets along well with his own kind. We are urgently looking for loving dog friends for our dearest Naraku, who also give an elderly dog a chance and make the rest of his life as beautiful as possible. Naraku should not have to live in the animal shelter, but have a soft basket of his own, lots of cuddling and snuggling, relaxing walks through forest and field, and simply enjoy his life knowing that he is loved, protected and cared for. He wishes for a quiet home. Who will show Naraku how beautiful life can be? Due to his age, Naraku will no longer be neutered. Unfortunately, Naraku tested positive for heartworm and the slow kill therapy has been started. (May 2026) Naraku can travel from around mid to late May 2026, if he has found a home or a foster placement.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Leider wieder ein Hundesenior, welchen es traurigerweise auf seine alten Tage ins Tierheim verschlagen hat. Naraku heisst er und lebt seit dem 14.3.2026 im Menhely Kecskemét. Er wurde in der Nähe des Tierheims alleine und verlassen gefunden. Er grub sich eine Kuhle und suchte Schutz darin. Zum Glück wurde er gefunden. Natürlich Fehlanzeige bei der Chipkontrolle und vermisst wurde der Hübsche auch nicht. Wir wissen nichts über seine Vergangenheit, ob er ausgesetzt wurde oder von Zuhause weglief, wünschen uns aber, dass er in der Zukunft nur noch auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens steht und seinen Lebensabend in Würde verbringen darf. Sobald als möglich möchte er sein Köfferchen packen und das Tierheim hinter sich lassen. Das Menhely ist vermutlich schon mal besser als sein bisheriges Leben, aber es soll und darf natürlich nicht Endstation für Naraku sein, sondern noch viel besser werden. Denn eigentlich sollte er im Kreise seiner Familie geborgen und in Sicherheit sein, aber das war wohl bisher auch noch nie der Fall... Naraku ist ein ruhiger, lieber und netter Hundeopi, aber auch vorsichtig, etwas schüchtern und nicht aufdringlich. Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit gefallen ihm immer mehr, dies war wahrscheinlich Mangelware bisher. Er möchte dies nie mehr missen. Er braucht nicht mehr viel Action, dafür Menschen, welche für ihn da sind, ihn verwöhnen, ihn so nehmen wie er ist und ihn spüren lassen, dass er geliebt und geachtet wird, vielleicht das erste Mal in seinem Leben. Er mag menschliche Zuneigung und hat da viel Nachholbedarf. Bei den älteren vierbeinigen Hundeherrschaften ist es meistens so, dass die Ansprüche an die körperlichen Aktivitäten nicht mehr so hoch sind, aber die liebevollen Zuwendungen dafür umso mehr genossen werden, das trifft auch auf Naraku zu. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht er sich gut. Wir suchen für unseren allerliebsten Naraku dringend liebevolle Hundefreunde, welche auch einem Hundesenior eine Chance geben und ihm seine restliche Lebenszeit so schön wie möglich gestalten. Naraku sollte nicht im Tierheim leben müssen, sondern ein weiches Körbchen sein eigen nennen, viel kuscheln und knuddeln, gemütliche Spaziergänge durch Wald und Flur unternehmen und einfach sein Leben geniessen können im dem Wissen, dass er geliebt, beschützt und umsorgt wird. Er wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause. Wer zeigt Naraku, wie schön das Leben sein kann? Naraku wird auf Grund seines Alters nicht mehr kastriert. Naraku wurde leider positiv auf Herzwurm getestet und mit der Slowkilltherapie wurde gestartet. (Mai 2026) Naraku kann ab ca. Mitte/Ende Mai 2026 reisen, wenn er ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle gefunden hat.

About Naraku

What life with Naraku looks like

Naraku is a senior shiba inu dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
